Label Highlight: Freude-am-tanzen

I picked up some of the releases on this label quite late but what I have heard so far has been awesome. Artists like Soulphiction/Jackmate have put out tracks that would make Moodymann nod his head and other quality productions come under Gamat 3000 ("feeling love" is a brilliant track) and Wighnomy Bros. With over 30+ releases under their belt this label has consistently put out good music, however on recent releases the track selections have definitely started pointing heavily to minimal house, which is a shame given the quality deep house releases they were putting out in 2004-2005. Nonetheless if you are not familiar with this label check them out: http://www.freude-am-tanzen.com/
